now doctor's orders, illya. bed rest until a certain hour and the after effects from the concussion. one more day of bed rest and you may have to put padding on the walls. now, now, no negative thoughts. think how lucky you are to be here. lucky?

with margo. instead you're here, getting plenty of rest, you have time for meditation. food of the vine, flowers of the field. exquisite view. what exquisite view? that exquisite view. i'm afraid you'll have to leave now, mr. solo, visiting hours are over. time for your temperature, mr. kuryakin. again? dr. lauer.

i'm going. oh, margo wanted me to thank you, but she was busy tonight modeling bikinis, and i thought i would say hello for you if i just stopped by and picked her up for supper. no, mr. kuryakin, you're to stay in bed and rest. dr. lauer. and no cheating on the thermometer this time, mr. kuryakin. i'll be back to check it and make sure you've taken your emulsion

sorry, mr. kuryakin. i'm dr. heller. the orderly here will help you onto the gurney. what for? for a consultation on your condition tomorrow. just some routine cranial vascular x-rays. i think only the emergency x-ray lab is open after six. yes, that's where we're taking you.

get him ready, but carefully.

you will find the amount, i believe, to be exact, 50,000 krona was the amount upon, was it not? considering the risk... a contract is a contract, gentlemen. it is now terminated. the terms have been fulfilled on each side. stefan will guide you out. for us? that was part of the bargain. that has been provided for. your final disappearance. again, gentlemen, my gratitude for your services.

viktor karmak alive? yes, mr. solo, viktor karmak alive and here. and holding mr. kuryakin. someone's grabbed illya, but not viktor karmak. he died two years ago. his own people put him out of commission.

well, something less pleasant than death. what was left of karmakk was stacked out in a jungle clearing for the scavenger ants. the scavenger ants, death is slow, but it's always certain. not in this case. illya and i buried him, or at least his remains, some shreds of uniform, a few bones. i'm sure you have our report on the affair. yes, i have it, i have it all right. and a report from infiltration command. another from mipnet, both quite conclusive. karmak resurfaced in brazil two months ago. his s ail since then is quite distinct. montreal, el salvador, and now here, here in the city. karmak's entry visa declaration. his thumbprint and his own signature. that doesn't make sense, unless he wants us to find him.

you and mr. kuryakin were responsible for his downfall. you may care to listen to the message he sent. i think you might find it interesting since apparently it's an invitation to your own death. solo, solo. twelve o'clock k twelve or illya dies. well, what do you make of it? twelve o'clock twelve. twelve... where? i'll show you. ms. rogers. karmak is trying to lure you into a trap, he has to be sure you'll make it in time. must be somewheree in manhattan. well, that brackets it nicely. still got 52 minutes leftft

twelfth precinct maybe. now it's got to be in a definite place. hohoabout pier 12? ms. rogers? we've already checked it out, napoleon. nothing. and number 12 12th avenue. and track number 12 grand central, nothing. waverly hehe. grid net 3 in position. waiting instruction. all right, i'll be there. meantime, instruct grid net 3 an a, full red alert, condition green permissible at any possible contact. condition green? karmak spots u.n.c.l.e. agents flooding in there, he may not wait until 12. he'll murder illya out of hand. if we can guess the place, i might have a chance of getting to illya alone. that's just what karmak wants. i couldn't allow that. i can't afford to lose two agents 'cause of a childish vendetta.

not yet. then i have no choice. solo, solo. twtwve o'clock or illya dies. illya dies. have you found something?

well, i suppose you are another one of those nasty people frfr the health and sanitation department. well, i wiwi not be moved again. i don't know if you've ever read the constitution... where is he? what are you talking about? th and sanitation department, well, then what are you doing here? what are you doing here? well, the rent hapapns to be reasonable. oh, you' a starving artist. uh-huh. oh, i see. and that sing tao necklace you're wearing, i gather you got thaha at a distress sale at the local diamond store. i estimate that eaea one of these matched emeralds is worth about, uh, hm, $15,000?

and it just so happens that my daddy gave them to me when i promised to give upupky diving. all right, you can drop the pose now. whwhe's karmak? watch out! now look what you've done. look, you just did that. i did? you've gone ananaltered the whole dynamic of it. i was gonna call it "time in a cosmic..." wait a minute. now it adds a certain primal thrust. well, exactly what it looks like. of course art to the philistine bureaucratic mind doesn't mean that... all right, you can save the rest of the compliments until later. you're getting out of here right now. come on. oh, now, just a minute. an artist has certain rights, and if you think... why don't you write your congressman tomorrow, okay? i am not gogog anywhere! i own this place! i mean, the whole area.

o. you passed the first test, and in good time. but then i expected you to decipher my message. you see, i do have cause to respect your capabilities, mr. solo, and your sense of discretion. please, don't move or i'll be forced to kill you know. what is it, who is he? an old acquaintance. yes, indeed, mr. solo. a very old acquaintance. and one who has had a long time to contemplate this reunion. i have planned your death and kuryakin's down to the last minute detail, and i shall savor every moment of it. i think we better get out of here. let the girl go, karmak. you have a score to settle with me. she has no part in it. the young lady was not part of the original plan of operations,

the hunt? yes, mr. s so, i intend to hunt you, to stalk you. kuryakin will be the tethered bait, and you the prey. kuryakin is being held somemeere in this ten block condemned area. you have until of doing s. don't. stefan. you will give your weapons to my servant stefan. the fuse cap in your tie clip.

thank you. but the odod seemed somewhat stacked in the house's favor now. i spent the last two years of my life making certain of that, mr. solo. you will not attempt to escape, nor seek help, nor attempt to kill me. for with my death, your colleague will be quite certain and immediately killed. it is now six minutes to twelve. l begin. i do hope you've lost none of your skill, mr. solo.

it's almost 12, it's three minutes of. i know. well, aren't we gonna do something how? wait, maybe i could go to the other side e the area -and then try to call... -karmak's got the deck, and we've got to play it his way, and hope that he makes the mimiake. you're not gonna go out there and do what he said? and let him hunt you down like some kind of animal? i've got to, that's the only way i'm gonna find illya. do you have anything around here besides wine and peanut butter? what do you use in your work?

what, you're interested in modern art? never momo than right now, ms., uh... oh, van tillson, sheila van tillson. then you do own this whole area. no, my daddy did. he gave it to the city for a park. he was gonna build me a studio, but i refused because e feel

you don't want your last meal? if you were sitting in a gas chamber, would you? why not. the glass. it fell on t t floor. you should not do that.

n't think hehes gonna let you survive, do you? he can't afford to. he's going to dispose of you just like he did the other two, to cover his tracks. no! when you are dead and the other one, karmak says we leave. run away is what he means with every u.n.c.l.e. agent in theheorld after you. either way, you're finished. but it doesn't have to be that way. because u.n.c.l.e. would also reward very handsomely anyone who helps. stefan! reward very handsomely. stefan! stefan, come. the hunt begins.

stay here. wait, it may be a trick. i'm counting on that. bait to flush out the quarry. karmak may take a shot at me, and he may also miss. if he does, it will be my chance to move in on him. you there, solo? i'm listening. i can tell you where your friend is, where karmak has him

l right, tell me. i will meet you. you mean some place that's good for an ambush, huh? if i wanted to kill you, i could do it right from here. i'll prove it to you. all right. see that alleyway across the street? i'll meet you there in five minutes. come unarmed with your hands up

r solo. solo.

where is he? illya.a. no, we settle first. the otheheone, kuryakin, said you would pay. all right. you're alive, that's as high as i'll go. i think you'u'better take it while you can. all right, all right. on the other side of this alley, two blocks down there's a refrigeratioioplant. he's on the second floor. just to make sure, you can go with me. karmak would kill me if i go.....
